History
Gotham was a metahuman crimefighter operating in Gotham City and the partner of Gotham Girl.
Gotham and Gotham Girl make their first public appearance helping Batman save a commercial plane from a Kobra Cult terrorist attack.[1] As they are young and inexperienced, Batman decides to take them under his wing and help them become better heroes.[2]
Hugo Strange and Psycho Pirate then use him to murder Waller's men and escape. He makes the mistake of taking off his mask and the last survivor went and murdered his parents. Due to Psycho Pirate's manipulations and the rage of losing his parents, he murders the soldier and goes on a rampage. He dies as a side effect of his powers.
He is briefly resurrected by his crazed sister using venom, but his body is overloaded and he dies again.[3]
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Ultra Powers: Through unknown means, Gotham purchased a set of metahuman powers for himself that was tied to his life force. The strength of his abilities fluctuated with the amount of his life energy he applied to them; the greater the sacrifice, the more powerful he became.[4]
- Flight
- Unique Physiology[4]
- Heat Vision[4]
- Invulnerability[4]
- Superhuman Durability: Gotham could endure extreme physical damage, such as getting thrown into the Statue of Justice by Solomon Grundy.[2]
- Superhuman Stamina: Gotham was capable of defeating the entire Justice League with his bare hands without ever straining himself once, even when he was running faster than the Flash.[4]
- Superhuman Reflexes[4]
- Superhuman Speed[5]: Gotham's speed was so high that he was able to keep up with the Flash, eventually outrun him and then render him unconscious in one single hit.[4]
- Superhuman Strength: Gotham was capable of tremendous feats of strength, including holding up the collapsing Vincefinkle Bridge[6] and hurling a steel girder through the Batmobile.[5] By shortening his life span, Gotham was even able to overpower Superman and render him unconscious with just a few individual punches during his battle with the Justice League.[4]
- Ultra Vision[2]
Weaknesses
- Power Limitation: Each use of Gotham's metahuman powers would shave time off his lifespan. To elevate the potency of his abilities, Gotham had to expend a greater amount of his life, hastening his death.[4]
